Daniel Garcia Souto, PhD in Biology | Cytogenetist

Recent PhD in bivalve cytogenetics at UVIGO (2017), my line of research has focused on karyological evolution, non-coding satellite DNA and epigenetics in marine molluscs by means of techniques such as fluorescent in situ hybridization, phylogenetic analysis and epigenetic studies of methylation by immunodetection, AFLPs, ELISA and post-bisulfite transformation sequencing. As a PhD student I performed research stays at the Ruđer Bošković Institute of Zagreb (Croatia, 2015) and at the International University of Miami (USA, 2016). I love kayaking and cycling.
